But, why was the giant Claydol so destructive that it had to be sealed away forever? It didn't seem like it was evil or anything. And on another note, why were two giant stone Poke Balls made if only one was used? Obviously it provides some insurance but it still seems odd. What would happen if this other ball was destroyed? And why was the ball it was sealed in origianlly floating on the surface of the pond anyway?

This is one of the strangest episodes of all time. We've a got a giant Claydol, crossdressing, Pokemon, and said Giant Claydol falling for one of said crossdressing Pokemon. How they ever came up with this episode is beyond me.

Some people don't think it's funny that Exit 69 gets off on Big Beaver.

I just hope they try and do this sort of thing a little more often myself. I like the weird, random sense of humour in the show, it really does make me laugh Strange is good if its pulled off correctly, and it seems the pokémon writers have got it under control when it comes to all-out wackiness ^.^

We don't know. All we know for sure was that it was too dangerous to be allowed to run loose.

The one on the mountain was the original. Long, long, long ago, the giant Claydol was sealed in it, but someone trying to use its power released it. Unable to get it back in, the wise man mentioned in the book somehow summoned the second one, which landed in the lake after resealing the Claydol.

It's giant Claydol that knows, Hyper Beam, Psychic, and Ice Beam. Do you really want that thing in your neighborhood? So, of course it would have to be sealed away. If only they could have shrunken it down to normal size, then it wouldn't have been such a danger and could remain loose.

I didn't think he tried it other than with Snorlax (both of them, the one blocking some river in Kanto, and the one he did capture in the Orange Islands) and there were other times this could have worked, the ancient Pokemon of Grandpa canyon is a perfect example. But I digress
From what I heard, this episode looks great. Can't wait a year or so till it is in the US.

There was also the episode when Pidgeot evolved. He tried to catch that Fearow to stop its rampage, remember?

OMFG. May in a nurses outfit= BLATENT FANSERVICE. Look's like Pokemopolis was right after all. About May being one of the most blatent peices of fanservice, I mean.

But it's true. So FRIKKEN true. XD

When I first heard of that, I thought it was for "fanservice" too, but after seeing the pics, it really is not that bad. There were much worse (or better depending on what way you look at it) nurse outfits they could have worn.

Scrubs (My Cold Shower) JD's closing Monolouge: As I looked at all the relationships around me, Some that had gone on forever, (Cox and Jordan) Some that were reigniting, (Carla and Turk) And some that were had just begun, (Elliot and Keith) I realized something.

It should have been me. (In reference to Elliot while he is taking a cold shower.)
YES, JElliot is coming back. Screw Elliot Keith, and all its backers.

Fanservice... well, you could try looking it up in a search engine, but I suppose I could try to explain it here. Basically, fanservice is something that anime producers/animators/writers add in to... 'please' fans. Usually male fans, as the stuff added in is usually pantie shots, semi-naked characters, etc.

Use your wildest immagination And don't post what you think
Alfonso's version is good, but it would go a bit darker if you will.
I know it was for comedy, but honestly, could Swellow pick up Wobbuffet even if he got a good grip. He is a weird shape, and pretty big compared to Swellow.

Well Wobba has a blubbery body so the smooth rounded shape would be easier to grab then you think, though maybe a bit painful. ^_^

And don't underestimate the strength of the Flying pokemon in the anime. Back when it was a Taillow, it and that Wingull Peeko were able to carry May AND Max, though it was pretty hard. I bet it could carry Wobbuffet now, just as some real birds (eagles, osprey) are known to carry animals that weigh even more than they do.

Changing the subject entirely, what was that music when the giant Claydol first appeared? It sounded very familiar, but I don't think it's one of the ones that usually plays in the series.

You mean the music right when Claydol comes out of the lake? It has been played a few times before. The only time I can remember at the moment is during "March of the Exeggutor Squad" when Ash & co arrive back at the carnival and everything is destroyed.
